Limited by my experience, I am adding a part list on the drawing by draw the table using LINE command, putting individual text in the cell using MTEXT command. Then I have to adjuct the location of the text in the cell to make the table look nice.It takes a lot of time.

Is there any better ways to do it in R2004?

Thanks,
 
I prefer developing in Microsoft Excel---->copy into clipboard----->paste into AutoCad.

I prefer to make a block out of the lines, including individual text attributes. Then insert or copy it as many times as needed.

You can get fancier and use drawing entities extended data extracted to a material list in the drawing.
